Meghan Trainor has confirmed the dreams of many a Directioner by revealing that yes, she has written a song with Harry Styles.

The “All About That Bass” singer announced that the track is called “Someday Maybe” on the Radio 1 Breakfast Show this morning.

“I wrote a song with Harry. It was unbelievable. He’s a very, very talented songwriter, I was very impressed,” she told host Nick Grimshaw, adding that she did not know if or when it would reach fans’ ears.

In an earlier interview with The Sun, Trainor revealed that the pair wrote the “cute acoustic love thing” on her ukulele.

“I was worried he’d just be a 20-year-old boy so I walked in with a prepared verse and chorus. He gave me very poetic, mature lyrics,” she said. “I was like, ‘Well, damn, Harry, you know what love is.”

One Direction singer Styles has been exercising his songwriting skills recently, having worked with Kodaline on their fourth album and US rockers Good Charlotte.

Trainor, 21, is nominated for record of the year at the Grammys next month, an achievement she describes as “a dream come true”.

She will headline her first UK tour in April, performing in Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham and London.
